Bert W. Sutherland, "Pompey, was born in Pompey, July 23, 1863, a son of W. E. and Celia (Wilcox) Sutherland. He was educated in the common schools and St. John's Military School, and has followed farming. Although young in years he now owns and operates 319 acres of land and is considered one of the progressive farmers of the county. He has taken a lively interest in the affairs of the town, and was delegate to the Republican State Convention in 1894. He belongs to the Military Lodge No. 93, F. & A. M., and Manlius Chapter No. 72, R. A. M. and also to the Grange. In 1891 he married Anna Lora, daughter of George and Minnie Hopkins, of Pompey. Mrs. Hopkins was a daughter of Col. Ralph Reed, who bought and settled where our subject now lives. Mr. Sutherland and wife are active members of the M. E. church, and are prominent in Sunday school work, and the former has been an officer of the town Sunday School Association since its organization. He is also a frequent contributor to the agricultural journals of the State and aids the local press by frequent contributions. Wallace E. was born in Pompey in 1832, a son of Hiram and Laurie (Woodworth) Sutherland; he born in Manchester in 1798 and she born in Pompey in 1803. The grandfather of Wallace was Reuben, born in 1773, who came to Pompey about 1800, and settled on the farm where his daughter, Minnie Robinson now resides. His wife was Sally Jones of Manchester, Vt., born in 1779. The father of Wallace was a boy when he came to Pompey; he returned to Vermont and lived with his grandparents until he was thirteen, then returned to Pompey, where he died Jan. 3, 1889, and his wife resides with her son Wallace at the age of 91."

In the 1910 census, he gives his occupation as carpenter.

The 1920 census shows him to be living in the village of Manlius, working as a salesman in a hardware store. The name was spelled Southerland.

Note for: William Sutherland, 1725 - BEF 27 MAY 1761 Index

Individual Note:
The existence of this Sutherland family was revealed by the finding of two wills. The first was the will of William Sutherland, as follows:

Abstracts of Wills Vol VI 1760-1766 p. 87Page 44.--In the name of God, Amen, August 22, 1760. I, WILLIAM SUTHERLAND, of North Castle, in Westchester County, being very sick. "First of all it is my will that all lawful debts be paid, part out of the movables and part out of the estate." I leave to my wife Esther 1/3 of the movable estate and the use of 1/3 of the
land so long as she continues my widow; and the use of the house and home lot. And the charge for repairs of my house to be paid out of the whole of my estate. I leave to my eldest son, Smith Sutherland, ś20 more than each of his brothers. After payment of debts I leave all my estate to my children as follows: Each of my sons to be equal in my estate, and each of my daughters to have half as much as each of my sons. It is my will that a certain farm of 100 acres that I had of David Peck be sold. My children shall be brought up and schooled out of my estate until my youngest son is of age. I make my wife Esther and my brother, Roger Sutherland, executors.

Witnesses, Jonathan Owen, Stephen Edgeet, John Raynolds. Proved, May 27, 1761.

In 1699 he appeared in Cambridge , where he was called a "fenceviewer," and in 1700 he was "tything-man." He owned the Brattle estate extending from Brattle square to Ash street. Before November, 1707 , he moved to Boston , when he sold the west portion of the estate to Andrew Belcher and the east portion to Rev. William Brattle , and in the conveyance he is called a "Knacker," which has been defined as "a maker of small work; a rope-maker." His will was dated April 23, 1725 , and "being sick and weak," he discharges his son David of a debt of one hundred pounds more or less which had been given him at different times for his education at college and since then, and he left money to the three children of David , namely, David , Mercy and Jonathan .

Note for: Solomon Sutherland, 22 JAN 1763 - 10 SEP 1802 Index

Individual Note:
The following is from: A Collection of Family Records with Biographical Sketches bearing name Douglas
Author: Charles Henry James Douglas, p. 228

========================================================================== ==========
ALANSON6 DOUGLAS (Wheeler5, Asa4, William3, William2, William1), born in Stephentown, N. Y., Feb. 11, 1779. At the request of the author the following sketch of him has been prepared by his son William B. Douglas, of Rochester:--

"He was educated a lawyer, settled in the village of Lansingburgh, and there entered upon the practice of his profession. He married, June 12, 1803, Anna, daughter of the Hon. Solomon(*) and Mrs. Tamma (Thompson) Sutherland, of Stanford...."

(*) He was a state Senator from Dutchess co., just re‰lected for a term of four years, at the time of his d. His grandfather came from Scotland in 1729 (in the same vessel that brought the Clintons) and settled at Horse Neck, Mass. His father, Col. David Sutherland, removed with him to Bangall, N. Y., 25 miles from Poughkeepsie, where Anna was b. April 7, 1784.
========================================================================== ==========
What this appears to be saying is that Col. David Sutherland, assumed to be the son of William Sutherland, Jr. and Hannah Avery, was in fact the son of a Scottish immigrant who came to America in 1729. William Sutherland, Jr.'s father is known to have arrived in 1684, so William was born here.

The parenthetical phrase "in the same vessel that brought the Clintons" most likely refers to the ship, "George and Anne" aboard which was Charles Clinton, his family, and a group of immigrants he has organized, all from Ireland. That particular voyage of the "George and Anne" was infamous for the terrible conditions and numerous deaths. No complete list of passengers has been found, but Charles Clinton wrote a journal in which he enumerates many of the travelers. There is no Sutherland among those mentioned.

There was a second ship, sailing at the same time, the "John of Dublin."

========================================================================== ==========
Helen Strowbridge Sutherland, born in 1863, wrote the following:
"Father was Walter William Sutherland, of Scottish descent, the son of Lewis and Judith Sutherland. There is a long record in the family Bible reaching back to 1700 when seven brothers came over from Scotland with the Clintocks."

Was this another reference to a Sutherland(s) emigrating with the Clintons?

Helen's grandparents were Lewis Sutherland, a grandson of Roger Sutherland, and Judith Sutherland, a granddaughter of Roger's son, Samuel. A family Bible concerns this branch of the Sutherlands.
